Re: please help app missing ...



Hi,

Does anyone know who/how/why Gimp was removed from testing?

I found the links below, but to me they don't explain any valid reasons or how this decision was made (automated or by human) ?

So curious how such a well known package becomes removed. And wonder how it will be available when Stable is released.

The package has not entered testing even though the delay is over normal

Gimp was removed from testing on 2024-09-25[1] due to the ongoing
transition.  See [2] for more details.

I think you can enable sid (if only temporarily) and install it from
there.
